(Dead) Maxtor 160GB 8MB Hard Drive with FREE ATA/133 PCI card $69.99 AR & coupon at Staples

[Eapiel]

How quiet is this drive in comparison, say, to the Seagate Barracuda series? I have an older Maxtor 10GB 5400 rpm drive and it is significantly louder than my Seagate Barracuda 80GB drive.

Hey if anyone not using their coupon...could u please PM me the code..

Thanks a lot

 

[Jhill]

Keep in mind if you have a newer motherboard and don't need the ATA card you can EBAY the card and make this a killer deal.

Looks like it is indeed a fluid-bearing drive, from what I can figure.

 

[InuYasha]

I had a couple Maxtor non-fluid-bearing drives before, their seeking sound is only slightly noticeable. But, man, they got this annoying high pitch hum that bother the hell out of me.

On my box it says FDB Motor. I take that to mean Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor. I don't know beyond that.

man, the intelligence of AT'rs has gone down the tubes... these are fluid bearing drives, as they are Maxtor +9 drives. I just got a coupon for 15$ off 70$, maybe staples doesnt like me...

One quick question.....

If I have an 80gig and 120gig hdd still in the box, with nothing to use them for, am I crazy for jumping on yet another hott deal?

Just tried the $50 off 200 and it expired 5/23 .. I'll use the $20, tested and works

 

[meetamango]

can't wait till midnight to place my order for the hard drive and use the Staples coupon.

can I buy after midnight and call to get a price adjustment?

During the price adjustment will I lose my coupon?

the rebate still isn't online.

Is the rebate instore only?

 

[SKORPI0]

If I order item #504516 it will be $149.99+tax + $0.37 stamp - $80 MIR = $83.11 @ 52 cents/GB.

Update

Rebate form has been posted. Here

 

[ams30gts]

is this only b&m or online/phone also?

 

[Rudrow]

Where is the $20 IR?

Same question here, online the $20 IR doesn't show up, I'm guessing it B&M only.


I really need to stop coming here, I keep buying these hard drives but they just sit here like the 120GB drive I got the other day

 

[amgc36]

I have been refreshing the Staples page many times, but the $20 IR doesn't show up. Could someone please confirm this deal is B&M only? How about phone order?

Also, if someone has a $30 Staples coupon lying around unused, could you send it to me? Many thanks!

 

[ivwshane]

Also can anyone confirm whether or not the pci card come with it? With out it it's a useless drive for me.


I'll probably just go down there tomorrow....er I mean today:moon:

This deal just went live on Staples.com about 18 minutes ago

I tried 7 times to submit my order but every time I kept getting:

Please wait while Staples is processing your order.
This may take a few moments.

While you are waiting, do not close or refresh this browser window.
If you do, your order may be lost.

So I'd wait... and wait... and wait.... and then:

We're sorry but an error has occurred. Please use the 'Back To Staples.com' button to return to the site. Or, if you are trying to locate one of our stores, click on the 'Find A Store' link above.

I give up.

 

[SirDante]

same here...best i could do was 20 off 100 but that's still a good deal

 

[HarryK]

Whoo hoo! 13 tries was the charm. (of course I didn't really give up when I said I did. I couldn't help myself and kept trying for another 20 minutes)

I just got through. $80 AR is a fine deal with me.

Now it's time for sleeeeeeeeeeep

 

[SirDante]

worked for me too.

Me too. $80 plus tax is a great price for a drive this big. MysticMan delivers again!
